Tracking Jan 7 coastal storm. Lingering compression/flow velocity has not lent to consensus, but it seems at 30 hours out.. finally?

Shut 'em down... a winter weather advisory is good enough cover reason regardless of outcome.  

Creating a 3 day weekend is probably the big motivation.    Give every body some mental emotional space.

If this were a Wednesday storm probably not as quick to call a snow day.

WOW

HTS closed until 9:00 tomorrow morning. Guessing that's related to the snow (or at least factoring in). 

They're getting hit pretty hard. Visibility there down to <0.25 miles at times

Whomever has 18z Euro access .. please post maps , convergence zones etc

There was a big storm a few years back where the models were latching onto nodes of convection and a multi-low structure. Similar to today, there was a lot of consternation in here that it was going to tug the system out to sea or cut off the conveyors. In reality, the western low wound up predominating, the convection was a non-factor and everyone got a big hit. I want to say it was the Jan '18 blizzard, but I can't say for sure. Anyone remember? Will?

Oy.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

The initial front running burst of snow is going to be important out this way.   Don't think I can be awake for that tho'  

Maybe Kev can give me a wake up call before his run?

January 2016, it wasn't this close in though.

nah, i bet Hoth and I are thinking of the same one, but it wasn't that one. that was a cutoff low issue.

Yeah, I deleted the post. I remember the scenario well but don't remember the year.

Odds of not using the snowblower increase with every HRRR/RAP run.

The only building left now is the stone club house for the golf course on one of the islands out of Gate 43. Was a popular spot during prohibition. This is a decent watch.

 

I figured they would be closing up quickly with the number of teachers out and lack of subs. My wife's still hasn't yet despite everyone around them being closed and they are beyond short-staffed.

Yeah, that's it, forgot what it was, been awhile since I've been out there.

A bust here would be really appropriate for this winter of bore.

Our local MET Ryan Hanrahan here in CT said we need to watch out for a possible heavy Snow band that may set up somewhere in central CT ( he said it was showing up on some of the models late this afternoon, Earl Eve ). He said it would have " The Fluff factor " with the snow growth and could drop several inches in a short period of time. I thought that was interesting.

I think you'll be fine in your location but always respect the "Messenger shuffle".

No he's not..lol he's probably one of the few who doesn't hype things up. So when he talks about the possibility of something happening, I'm listening.
